I was in Virginia at the time, and had no older siblings either. I knew nothing about pop music except folk musics and "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius". Oh, and Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell. Sorry. I went to a Cat Stevens concert in college.
Nice. I was an 14-15 year old Air Force brat stuck in Germany when this was all going down. I remember my black friend (whose last name was Whitehead) introducing me to his new Hendrix album. It was a few years before I got to a concert. I sure made up for that!
I had a chance to see The Grateful Dead play the Tyrone Guthrie theater in Mpls October 18, 1970. I had been 18 for exactly one week. The Guthrie only held 1300 so there were two shows. I saw the second. Jerry and the boys brought down the house with a 15 minute cover of “Dancing in the Streets.”
The band has two drummers for the show so I thought the flash bang grenade that went off on stage unexpectedly was a bit much. Those darn roadies thought it would be funny apparently.
wow.wow. my era.my life. my music.my youth..and my compass.thank you!

What an experience to have and recall
So envious that your father took you to the show
Your dad? Wow! Wonderful piece. Thank you.
Sounds like a great experience!
